Belgium Pro League, Wednesday, 24.04.2024
Six more times, then we’re done in Belgium too! A high-class battle for the title has been raging in the Jupiler Pro League for some time now, and a preliminary decision is not yet to be expected.
The runners-up are now hosting the fourth-placed team and must rely on their home strength. The bookmakers are obviously doing the same, as they clearly favor the home side.
My Bruges Genk betting tip should now tell you why the combination of double chance 1X and under 3.5 goals could be a good investment, the Interwetten bonus is still available at odds of 1.90.
38, 36, 35, 34? You really don’t have to be a mathematical genius to recognize this: With six games to go, this battle for the title is getting so exciting it’s hard to watch!
Anderlecht, Bruges, Royale Union and Genk are currently the hottest contenders for the championship. So one thing is clear ahead of the match between Bruges and Genk: both must play to win!

A draw doesn’t help anyone, so it will be all the more interesting to see which style of play both teams adopt. I’ll start by looking at the hosts, who clearly have the strongest goal difference.
71 goals and 32 goals conceded are the top figures in the league. After a rather poor start to the play-offs with a 1-1 draw against Cercle Brugge, things quickly improved and the Gazelles won three in a row
3:1 against Anderlecht, 3:0 against Antwerp and 2:1 against Union Saint-Gilloise, the performances were particularly impressive offensively. Interesting to note: Bruges only scored two of their nine play-off goals before the break.
So the second halves were quite something, which makes for a good bet!
If we were to see more goals after the break on Wednesday, we would see odds of 2.00 in the Betway app
The fact that Bruges have now won three in a row was by no means a given. In the regular season, the last time they won three in a row was in August, so that was a long time ago! Four wins in a row? That would be a real first.
However, there is one very positive fact that I can definitely pass on to all those who support FC Brugge.
Namely the fact that their only defeat in their own stadium came at the end of February in a 2-1 defeat against Anderlecht
The home strength can be extended to all competitions. Because regardless of whether it’s the cup or Europe (including qualification), they simply don’t lose at home with this one exception!
What’s more, the fans know that they can rely on their top duo in attack. Igor Thiago and Andreas Skov Olsen have scored a combined 49 goals in competitive matches, that’s an impressive haul
And yet: You also have to compensate for the fact that Hugo Vetlesen will be missing in midfield due to a yellow-red suspension. After four winless head-to-head matches in a row, Bruges won the most recent one 3-0, so the trend is positive again.
19 times a BTS in the last 21 matches? That could also be important for you! In our comparison of the best bookmakers, Bruges are generally ahead, with average odds of 1.80 to 4.10.
The visitors from Genk know, of course, that if they manage a win on Wednesday, they will move up the table. They have also started the play-offs with three wins and a draw, but have made things a little more exciting.
A 1-0 win against Union and Antwerp, a 2-1 win against Anderlecht and a 1-1 draw against Cercle Brugge were all very close results. Very interesting: each time it was 1-0 to Genk at half-time
It could also be important to note that only six of 15 away games were won before the championship round – FC Brugge’s record in their own stadium sounds much more impressive.
Bruges or Genk, who can still hope to be Belgian champions soon? Both are in a similarly good mood at the moment, although I’m naturally focusing on the Gazelles’ home strength.
It’s virtually impossible to lose at home, and since Genk don’t do a great job away from home either, I’ve already sent the double chance 1X into the race.
Defensively, nobody can fool the home side, but Genk are currently keeping it to a maximum of two goals anyway. As a result, I’m calling for a close race and the following tip:
Brügge score a maximum of three goals!
